I run my program with my husband; he has been my full time assistant for fourteen years. Together we take care of ten littles every day ranging in age from 5 months to 5 years.

      Hi, I’m Pat.
      Right at the moment I’m taking some time off teaching because I burned out after 33 years. I love teaching about Jesus and His creation, especially about monarch caterpillars, butterflies, frogs, toads, seeds, gardening. I am thinking about opening up a nature school but haven’t decided on what ages. The older children need the outdoors too. I am looking forward to expanding my brain with this awesome sounding class.

      I cannot keep anything alive, but the idea of an outdoor classroom sounds like Nirvana! I cannot wait to learn and also trial and error with the kids in my preschool. We want to work on a project for Mothers and Fathers days and to ‘greenify’ our city playground. I am already grateful for this course.

      Hi, I’m Lyn. Not on FB so my comments will have to be here. Looking for ideas for making a local farm more user-friendly. I teach college writing, finishing a phd in teacher-education, working weekends at a local farm (I do their FB page so I might be able to use that, we’ll see), was elementary teacher, just 100% the idea of outdoor literacy. I am also into supporting small and medium sized farms!!

      I’m Jamie. I am a preschool teacher at a head start program in Massachusetts. I have 18 3-5 year olds. I also run a Girl Scout Troop with 10 7-8 year old girls. Always looking for new ideas for both age groups. We did get to play in some mud at Head Start today! It rained a lot over the weekend so we had a lot of mud on the playgrounds. We used sticks to draw letters and numbers in the mud.

      Hello, everyone…. My name is Pat Sawyer, and I am a veteran lead teacher in a Head Start classroom who can still get excited about learning new ways to engage my students! I’m looking forward to gathering many new ways of taking that engagement outside. It may still be winter here (despite the 70 degree weather we had yesterday!) but outdoors is the place to be whenever the temperatures allow, and I’m ready to garden!
